Reston, Virginia, United States Efficient Computer Full time
About the Role

We are seeking a highly skilled Senior ASIC Physical Design Engineer to join our team at Efficient Computer. As a key member of our design team, you will be responsible for delivering high-quality, low-power ASIC designs in advanced technology nodes.

Key Responsibilities
  • Design and implement multi-hierarchy low-power ASICs in advanced technology nodes, leveraging low-power techniques and design-technology co-optimization.
  • Analyze and debug placement-, cts-, routing-, and buffering-related design and flow issues, using semi-custom placement, route guides, and other tool directives via scripts.
  • Own and deliver designs meeting sign-off timing targets within specified power envelopes while managing constraints.
  • Lead the integration and/or delivery of IP, highlighting trade-offs between power consumption and performance.
  • Engage with the digital design team to address congestion and timing issues through design modifications and functional Engineering Change Orders.
  • Collaborate with the DFT team to plan and provide early feedback on design decisions that relate to physical implementation.
  • Create scripts for EDA tools to automate tasks and enhance the throughput and quality of the physical design process.
Requirements
  • Master's degree in Electrical Engineering with 5+ years of industry experience or PhD in Electrical Engineering with 3+ years of industry experience.
  • Proven track record of delivering block (or SoC) RTL2GDSII for multiple tape-outs in 22nm or below process technologies.
  • Experience with EDA flow using Cadence/Synopsys/Mentor tools for front-end (Synthesis/LEC), back-end (Place and Route), and verification/simulation (Physical Verification) with hierarchical design and abstraction techniques.
  • Hands-on experience in place & route, power and clock-tree implementation, and timing convergence of high-frequency designs.
  • Knowledge of static timing analysis, defining constraints and exceptions, corners/voltage definitions.
  • Experience with low power implementation typical in industry, including advanced knowledge of UPF standard (IEEE-1801).
  • Excellent scripting skills in TCL, Bash, and Python.
